hi, i'm nearly 15, i'm 5'8'' and i weigh 140lbs. i run quite a lot, but have had a bit of a break recently as i haven't been able to find the time. what i'm wondering is how often should i run, is every day too often, should i run every other day? i run between 2-3 miles ATM, but i need to get up to a good speed for 4.5 miles for december. How often do you think i should i run? and what do you think are decent times for 2miles, 3miles and 4.5miles at my age?

cheers :)
 
any ideas?
 
You can run everyday if your body can handle it. How often have you been running? If you have been running everyday, you can continue that. If not, increase the number of days you run by 1 day per week.

What is a fast time? I think a 15yo boy could make most cross country teams with a 5k time in the high teens; girls would require a time in the low 20s. Those would be good times for a 15yo.
 
hi, thanks for the help. i have been running about 2-3 times per week on and off (i'm only allowed to go with my brother, and sometimes he can't be bothered. :( ) i'll time myself tomorrow, to see what sort of time i'm at.

cheers:)
